Hi everyone, On behalf of the Apache Flink PMC, I'm very happy to announce that Godfrey He and Xingbo Huang have joined the Flink PMC!
Godfrey He becomes a Flink committer in Sep 2020. His contributions are mainly focused on the Flink table module, covering almost all important parts such as Client(SQL Client, SQL gateway, JDBC driver, etc), API, SQL parser, query optimization, query execution, etc. Especially in the query optimization part, he built the query optimization framework and the cost model, improved the statistics information and made a lot of optimizations, e.g. dynamic partition pruning, join hint, multiple input rewrite, etc. In addition, he has done a lot of groundwork, such as refactoring the ExecNode(which is the basis for further DAG optimizations) and SQL Plan JSON serialization (which is a big step to support SQL job version upgrade). Besides that, he's also helping the projects in other ways, e.g. managing releases, giving talks, etc. Xingbo Huang becomes a Flink committer in Feb 2021. His contributions are mainly focused on the PyFlink module and he's the author of many important features in PyFlink, e.g. Cython support, Python thread execution mode, Python UDTF support, Python UDAF support in windowing, etc. He is also one of the main contributors in the Flink ML project. Besides that, he's also helping to manage releases, taking care of the build stabilites, etc. Congratulations and welcome them as Apache Flink PMC! Regards, Dian
